It is time for Larry Merchant to retire, he doesn't have the eye and vision anymore. He thought Dawson was dropped by a body punch and that Dawson was KO'ed by a punch to the neck. Kellerman and Lampley had to correct him twice. Also, the Ward feet movement and athlete anticipation segment was entertaining but Kellerman one-upped the old man with the brain processing comment later on in the fight.

I really hope Merchant watches a reply of Ward vs Dawson so that he realizes that he doesn't have it anymore.

That's the reason he was brought along in the firstplace.He's the heir apparent to Merchant.

No doubt about the succession plan, but grooming time is over, it's been over 5 years since he started with HBO. Last night, Larry tried his best to outwit and out analyze Kellerman, but he was too slow and and could not see the punches coming and going. He is way past prime and it's time for him to go.
